THE WHALES TAIL.
A Propelling Force Equal to rs Horss
Power Exerted BY It.

A Propelling Force Equal to 145 Horse
Power Exerted BY It.
Sir William Turner, the, eminent
professor of anatomy in the University
Of Edinburg, recently delivered a lee
turc to the members of the PhilosOph-
ical Institution of that city on whales;
Their Structure and Habits" in the
course of which he referred to a point
of considerable interest to engineers,
which was the horse power exerted by
the tail of large whale. Regarding
the length of full grown whales. Prof.
Turner remarked that the porpoise
was four or five feet long. where
as the Greenland whale was fifty
to sixty feet long, and he said
that the great timer whale, which
frequently visited the British seas.
reached the length 81 eighty feet, or
even more. An animal Of the latter
sort was stranded at Longniddry some
years ago. After speaking at some
length on the structure of whales, the
lecturer made some remarks on the
rate of speed at which they travelled.
1t had been estimated, he said, that the
Greenland whale could attain a speed
of nine or ten miles an hour. and that
the finer whales attained even q great
err speed. In all probability the Long
niddry whale could propel itself
through the water at the rate
of twelve miles an hour, and the sperm
whale was said to be capable of driving
itself along at the same rate of speed.
He asked Mr.. John Henderson
of Glasgow. the well-known builder of
the Anchor liners, to assist him in ar
irving at the horse power which must
be exercised by one of these great
whales SO As to acquire speed of
twelve miles an hour, and he put the
case of the Longniddry whale before
him. 1t was eighty feet long. weighed
about seventy-four tons. and had tail
eighteen to twenty feet across from the
extreme ends of its fangeA With
these data Mr.. Henderson calculated
that a whale Of the dimensions mem
toned. in order to attain speed Of
twelve miles an hour, would require to
exercise a propcllin. force OF 14S horse

four or five years we had large dealings
with firms in Sheffield. Eng. They
were able to lay down section steel in
this country cheaper than it can be
made here. but the tariff was put up
and now we buy all our steel at Pitts
burSh. just before General Garfield
was elected President he was in our
place and went through our works.
where he made many inquiries about
matters affecting the tariff question.
l was in the White House some time
after his Inauguration. and he told me
that he asccrtained that this section
steel tariff gave employment in this
country to 5000 men when formerly
the work had been done by as many
men in England. 1 found the manu-
facturers in Sheffield with whom We
formerly dealt to be among the earnest
advocates of protective tariff for
Great Britain on account of the Ger
man competition of which 1 have
spoken. l made inquiries rs to the
wages. As an example. the difference
between what they pay their engineer
and what we pay ours is a good illus
tration. Their engineer is required to
do his own stocking and gets $1.25
day. which is very high
wages. We pay our engineer
about $1,000 q year and give him
. fireman and sometimes two. I
noticed the houses of the working-men
in Sheffield and inquired about them.
They are owned by the proprietors of
the shops and factories, and are rented
to the men. Our working-men whether
in New York or Massachusetts or
Ohio. nearly all own their own houses

Senator Window has been giving utter
ance to some very practical sense in rela-
tion TO the popular treatment of the liquor
traffic. At Woodstock. Conn, on the 4th
of July. referring to the position OF the
partisan political prohibitionists, he said:
You insist that taxation implies the re-
ciprocal duty of protection: that restriction
BY license is direct completely and partici-
patton in the guilt; that local option is but
another name for local license, when the
community choose SO to vote.
At best is not your theory that taxation
implies protection a mere abstraction? II
taxed would the saloon have any other or
different protection from what il now has =?
Is il really worth while to ALLOW this alb
straction TO deter you from crippling il, 50
long as il does exist. 10 reimburse portion
of the loss il causes?
Further along in his address he made
some remarks particularly applicable 10 the
subject in Ohio. rs follows:
Again. suppose that in n given state you
have hot the power 10 enact prohibitory
law, but that in one half Of II the people
desire to enact and enforce prohibition
through local option, and you have the
power to give them that right. viii your
conscience permit you TO deny them that
power. because some other localities prefer
regulation or restriction, to prohibition /"

flising protection to the thousands you
might save. because you could not save all'
